3 OBSERVATION MEDICINE Definition Observation care is a well-defined set of specific, clinically appropriate services, which include ongoing short term treatment, assessment, and reassessment before a decision can be made regarding whether patients will require further treatment as hospital inpatients or if they are able to be discharged from the hospital. Observation services are commonly ordered for patients who present to the emergency department and who then require a significant period of treatment or monitoring in order to make a decision concerning their admission or discharge. - Medicare Policy Manual Next Page

4 OBSERVATION MEDICINE General Guidelines Active management of patients following their initial ED care to determine the need for inpatient admission Maximum length of stay <24 hours (optimally <18 hours) ED attending ensures suitability for observation status Next Page

5 OBSERVATION MEDICINE Focused Goals Diagnostic evaluation of critical symptom i.e. chest pain, syncope, abdominal pain, etc. Short term treatment of an emergency condition i.e. asthma, dehydration, cellulitis, headache, COPD, etc. Management of psychosocial needs and ensuring follow up care i.e. need for home support services, placement or social services assistance Next Page

6 OBSERVATION MEDICINE Patient Characteristics Limited intensity of service and severity of illness At least 70% probability of discharge in <18 hours if managed effectively Relatively low severity of illness/complexity Necessary resources and level of care available in the ED/CDU Next Page

7 OBSERVATION MEDICINE Documentation Observation time begins at the clock time documented in the patient s medical record, which coincides with the time that observation care is initiated in accordance with a physician s order. The [patient] must be in the care of a physician during the period of observation, as documented in the medical record by outpatient registration, discharge, and other appropriate progress notes that are timed, written, and signed by the physician. The medical record must include documentation that the physician explicitly assessed patient risk to determine that the beneficiary would benefit from observation care. - Medicare Policy Manual
